You’d see a lot of changes when looking at a map of present day Europe and comparing it to a 30 year old one. Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine and the Baltic States were all part of the USSR. Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia were still states. Go back even further and the map looks even stranger. Putting all those different people under the same banner and keeping them that way was and still is next to impossible. Many have tried and most have failed, but the first to even come close were the Romans. Their inheritors, the Byzantines, managed to keep it together for over 1100 years, thus creating the longest-living Empire on the continent. Here’s how they did it.

____________
Justinian arose from humble roots, the nephew of an illiterate pig farmer named Justin. Justin joined the army and rose to become leader of the palace guard, then took his nephew under his wing and made sure that he was well educated. When Emperor Anastasius died, Justin used his position (and his standing army inside Constantinople) to claim the crown for himself. His nephew guided the early years of his reign, helping Justin secure support both in the capitol and abroad. When Justin died, rule of the Byzantine Empire passed to the young Justinian, who had grand ambitions to restore its waning glory. It also freed him to marry Theodora, a famous actress who was far beneath his social station, and who would also rise from her humble beginnings to become a revered empress.

Brilliance and brutality. Intellect and intrigue. Christianity and carnage.
As much of the world descended into the Dark Ages after the fall of Rome, one civilization shone brilliantly: the Byzantine Empire. With ruthless might and supreme ingenuity, the Byzantines ruled over vast swaths of Europe and Asia for more than a thousand years. A bridge to antiquity, it was Byzantium that preserved the classical learning and science that would one day give rise to the Renaissance.
Led by rulers who exercised absolute power and architects who pushed beyond Rome's engineering marvels, the Byzantines constructed the ancient world's longest aqueduct, virtually invincible city walls, a massive stadium, and a colossal domed cathedral that defied the laws of nature.
The Byzantine Empire was the dominant civilization during the Dark Ages. But after a millennium of rule, its engineering feats would betray them - as an ancient light was extinguished in the glare of modern warfare.

Who were the Byzantines? What was the Byzantine Empire? Were the Byzantines Greek or were the Byzantines Roman? Or were they something else entirely?
The history of the Byzantine empire is fascinating and I hope that throughout my History of the Byzantine Empire series to introduce you to it. Emperors like Justinian. Weapons like Greek fire and cities like Constantinople, the GreatCity. All are an important part of Byzantine history. Over the coming episode we'll cover the 11 centuries of Byzantine history and all the twists and turns that they entail.
In this episode we discuss the beginning of the Byzantine Empire because the Byzantine Empire is really just Eastern Rome. So it can be hard to discern where one ends and the other begins. I peg the beginning with the Emperor Diocletian. One of the greatest Roman emperors. The man that divided and empire and brought it back from the brink of collapse.

Byzantine Empire

The Byzantine Empire, sometimes referred to as the Eastern Roman Empire, was the continuation of the Roman Empire in the East during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, when its capital city was Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul, originally founded as Byzantium). It survived the fragmentation and fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD and continued to exist for an additional thousand years until it fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. During most of its existence, the empire was the most powerful economic, cultural, and military force in Europe. Both "Byzantine Empire" and "Eastern Roman Empire" are historiographical terms created after the end of the realm; its citizens continued to refer to their empire as the Roman Empire (Ancient Greek: Βασιλεία τῶν Ῥωμαίων, tr.Basileia tôn Rhōmaiōn; Latin:Imperium Romanum), or Romania (Ῥωμανία), and to themselves as "Romans".

Several events from the 4th to 6th centuries mark the period of transition during which the Roman Empire's Greek East and Latin West divided. Constantine I (r. 324–337) reorganised the empire, made Constantinople the new capital, and legalised Christianity. Under Theodosius I (r. 379–395), Christianity became the Empire's official state religion and other religious practices were proscribed. Finally, under the reign of Heraclius (r. 610–641), the Empire's military and administration were restructured and adopted Greek for official use instead of Latin. Thus, although the Roman state continued and Roman state traditions were maintained, modern historians distinguish Byzantium from ancient Rome insofar as it was centred on Constantinople, oriented towards Greek rather than Latin culture, and characterised by Orthodox Christianity.

Aside from the more formal usage, the term "empire" can also be used to refer to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss) or a group (political bosses). The term "empire" is associated with other words such as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. Empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations. The effects of imperialism exist throughout the world today.

An imperial political structure can be established and maintained in two ways: (i) as a territorial empire of direct conquest and control with force or (ii) as a coercive, hegemonic empire of indirect conquest and control with power. The former method provides greater tribute and direct political control, yet limits further expansion because it absorbs military forces to fixed garrisons. The latter method provides less tribute and indirect control, but avails military forces for further expansion. Territorial empires (e.g., the Mongol Empire and Median Empire) tend to be contiguous areas. The term, on occasion, has been applied to maritime empires or thalassocracies, (e.g., the Athenian and British empires) with looser structures and more scattered territories. Empires are usually larger than kingdoms.

History

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

History (from Greekἱστορία, historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation") is the study of the past, particularly how it relates to humans. It is an umbrella term that relates to past events as well as the memory, discovery, collection, organization, presentation, and interpretation of information about these events. Scholars who write about history are called historians. Events occurring prior to written record are considered prehistory.

History can also refer to the academic discipline which uses a narrative to examine and analyse a sequence of past events, and objectively determine the patterns of cause and effect that determine them. Historians sometimes debate the nature of history and its usefulness by discussing the study of the discipline as an end in itself and as a way of providing "perspective" on the problems of the present.

Stories common to a particular culture, but not supported by external sources (such as the tales surrounding King Arthur), are usually classified as cultural heritage or legends, because they do not show the "disinterested investigation" required of the discipline of history.Herodotus, a 5th-century BC Greek historian is considered within the Western tradition to be the "father of history", and, along with his contemporary Thucydides, helped form the foundations for the modern study of human history. Their works continue to be read today, and the gap between the culture-focused Herodotus and the military-focused Thucydides remains a point of contention or approach in modern historical writing. In Asia, a state chronicle, the Spring and Autumn Annals was known to be compiled from as early as 722 BC although only 2nd century BC texts survived.

Top 10 Reasons the Byzantine Empire Was Among the Most Successful in History

You’d see a lot of changes when looking at a map of present day Europe and comparing it to a 30 year old one. Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine and the Baltic States were all part of the USSR. Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia were still states. Go back even further and the map looks even stranger. Putting all those different people under the same banner and keeping them that way was and still is next to impossible. Many have tried and most have failed, but the first to even come close were the Romans. Their inheritors, the Byzantines, managed to keep it together for over 1100 years, thus creating the longest-living Empire on the continent. Here’s how they did it.

The Byzantines: Engineering an Empire

Brilliance and brutality. Intellect and intrigue. Christianity and carnage.
As much of the world descended into the Dark Ages after the fall of Rome, one civilization shone brilliantly: the Byzantine Empire. With ruthless might and supreme ingenuity, the Byzantines ruled over vast swaths of Europe and Asia for more than a thousand years. A bridge to antiquity, it was Byzantium that preserved the classical learning and science that would one day give rise to the Renaissance.
Led by rulers who exercised absolute power and architects who pushed beyond Rome's engineering marvels, the Byzantines constructed the ancient world's longest aqueduct, virtually invincible city walls, a massive stadium, and a colossal domed cathedral that defied the laws of nature.
The Byzantine Empire was the domina...

Justinian arose from humble roots, the nephew of an illiterate pig farmer named Justin. Justin joined the army and rose to become leader of the palace guard, then took his nephew under his wing and made sure that he was well educated. When Emperor Anastasius died, Justin used his position (and his standing army inside Constantinople) to claim the crown for himself. His nephew guided the early years of his reign, helping Justin secure support both in the capitol and abroad. When Justin died, rule of the Byzantine Empire passed to the young Justinian, who had grand ambitions to restore its waning glory. It also freed him to marry Theodora, a famous actress who was far beneath his social station, and who would also rise from her humble beginnings to become a revered empress.

As much of the world descended into the Dark Ages after the fall of Rome, one civilization shone brilliantly: the Byzantine Empire. With ruthless might and supreme ingenuity, the Byzantines ruled over vast swaths of Europe and Asia for more than a thousand years. A bridge to antiquity, it was Byzantium that preserved the classical learning and science that would one day give rise to the Renaissance.
Led by rulers who exercised absolute power and architects who pushed beyond Rome's engineering marvels, the Byzantines constructed the ancient world's longest aqueduct, virtually invincible city walls, a massive stadium, and a colossal domed cathedral that defied the laws of nature.
The Byzantine Empire was the dominant civilization during the Dark Ages. But after a millennium of rule, its engineering feats would betray them - as an ancient light was extinguished in the glare of modern warfare.

Who were the Byzantines? What was the Byzantine Empire? Were the Byzantines Greek or were the Byzantines Roman? Or were they something else entirely?
The history of the Byzantine empire is fascinating and I hope that throughout my History of the Byzantine Empire series to introduce you to it. Emperors like Justinian. Weapons like Greek fire and cities like Constantinople, the GreatCity. All are an important part of Byzantine history. Over the coming episode we'll cover the 11 centuries of Byzantine history and all the twists and turns that they entail.
In this episode we discuss the beginning of the Byzantine Empire because the Byzantine Empire is really just Eastern Rome. So it can be hard to discern where one ends and the other begins. I peg the beginning with the Emperor Diocletian. One of the greatest Roman emperors. The man that divided and empire and brought it back from the brink of collapse.

Ancient City of Bosra, (Syria) - Travel Guide

Take a tour of Ancient City of Bosra in Bosra, Syrian Arab Republic -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The half-standing ruins of this dark-stoned city rise out of the southern Syrian landscape.
Nearly deserted today, Bosra has a great deal of history from thousands of years of habitation by different cultures.
The city is at least old enough to have appeared in historical documents from the fourteenth century BC.
Early in the first millennium AD, Bosra became a part of the Roman Empire, which is the strongest influence seen at work in the ruins.
Since then, it has been the territory of the Byzantine Empire and the Arabs who swept in during the seventh century.
Among the ruined city's Roman and Christian structures, the fortified...

TURKEY: ISTANBUL: ANCIENT PALACE OF BYZANTIUM UNEARTHED

Eng/Turkish/Nat
Turkish archaeologists have unearthed the remains of a once magnificent palace in the heart of Istanbul.
The Great Palace of Byzantium was home to emperors who governed most of the Western world from the 4th to the 12th century.
But history has placed major obstacles in the excavators' path - the palace lies beneath two of Istanbul's most popular historical monuments, the famous Blue Mosque and Saint Sophia Cathedral.
In the shadow of Saint Sofia archaeologists have discovered a beautiful floral fresco believed to be part of the ruins of The Palace of Byzantium.
Excavation has uncovered a labyrinth of vaulted corridors which were probably used to store the imperial archives.
This floral wall painting could date back to the fifth century.

El Djem Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination El Djem in Tunisia.
Even from a distance, a monumental amphitheatre dominates the Tunisian city of El Djem, the ancient Punic settlement of Thysdrus in the heart of the later Byzantine Empire. Apart from those in Rome and Verona, this huge stone amphitheatre is the largest of its kind and a masterpiece of ancient building technique. Due to the region’s climate, the impressive construction has retained its original colour and the gigantic oval structure could accommodate 30 to 40,000 spectators. Thysdrus was one of the largest cities in ancient Africa and during the 2nd and 3rd centuries B.C. was also one of the most prosperous in the Roman Empire. The cultivation of olives and the production of olive oil for Rome were the reasons for the city’s prosperity tha...

Istanbul is the most strategically important city in the world. It's located on one of the busiest waterways in the world, the Bosporus straight, which links the Black Sea with the Mediterranean, and a land route between Europe and Asia.
Notes about the names of Istanbul:
During the Ottoman Empire, the people of the city would call it Istanbul, while the government still referred to the city as the Turkish variant of Constantinople. The city's official name was not changed to Istanbul until Turkey became a republic.
Byzantium was refereed to as the New Rome until after emperor Constantine's death, when it became Constantinople.

Eng/Turkish/Nat
Turkish archaeologists have unearthed the remains of a once magnificent palace in the heart of Istanbul.
The Great Palace of Byzantium was home to emperors who governed most of the Western world from the 4th to the 12th century.
But history has placed major obstacles in the excavators' path - the palace lies beneath two of Istanbul's most popular historical monuments, the famous Blue Mosque and Saint Sophia Cathedral.
In the shadow of Saint Sofia archaeologists have discovered a beautiful floral fresco believed to be part of the ruins of The Palace of Byzantium.
Excavation has uncovered a labyrinth of vaulted corridors which were probably used to store the imperial archives.
This floral wall painting could date back to the fifth century.
First built by Constantine the Great, who made Constantinople the capital to the Roman Empire, the palace was constantly enlarged and modified until it became a grand complex of courtyards, throne rooms and churches.
Archaeologists and art historians have been searching for, and occasionally uncovering, parts of the ruins of the grand complex for over a century.
But this is the first time a structure from the Byzantine palace has been discovered intact.
Alpay Pasinli, director of Istanbul's Archaeology Museum is in charge of the excavations.
He believes the discovery of the ruins and frescoes will provide a valuable glimpse into life in the ancient world.
SOUNDBITE: (Turkish)
"It should not be forgotten that Istanbul was not only the capital of the Byzantine, Eastern Roman Empire, but also the capital of the Ottoman Empire. And the location of the ruins is very important, located between the Byzantine Hagia (Saint) Sofia mosque
and the Topkapi Palace - the administrative centre of the Ottoman Empire"
SUPERCAPTION: Alpay Pasinli, Istanbul's Archaeology Museum DirectorUnfortunately archaeologists will not be able to uncover the palace in its full grandeur, since large parts of it lie directly beneath some of Istanbul's main tourist sights.
The ruins are situated between monuments of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires - Saint Sofia - once a cathedral, later a mosque and now a museum - and the Blue Mosque.
Even more frustrating for would-be excavators of the palace, the pace of their work is largely dictated by present-day developers.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"So far it's been a rather piecemeal effort and it's been an effort that seems to be spurred by development rather than the archaeological interest in the city. That is, the excavations are done by developers who are interested in building a hotel on certain
properties in Sultanahmet. And that's not the way archaeology should be done. The archaeology here is more important than any development."
SUPERCAPTION: Robert Ousterhout, Expert on Byzantine Architecture, University of Illinois
However at least the developers and the government are willing to allow some excavation to take place.
This hotel in the Sultanahmet district was constructed after an excavation prompted by the construction company and conducted by Istanbul's Museum of Archaeology.
It is perhaps for ancient developers that archaeologists should save most of their anger.
For it was the planners of old who decided to build the Saint Sofia and the Blue Mosque right on top of this treasure-trove of Byzantine era history.

This atmospheric Istanbul tour takes you through the commercial center of modern Istanbul, across the Galata Bridge, deep into the Byzantine and Ottoman history of this incredible city. Our coach will take you along the coastline of Istanbul's Golden Horn past the Suleimaniye Mosque, a landmark of 16th centuryOttoman architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Our destination is beautiful Sultanahmet Square, home to the Blue Mosque, the former basilica of Hagia Sophia, the Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace and the Old Hippodrome of Istanbul, our first stop.
The Old Hippodrome of Istanbul is an ancient circus built before the founding of Constantinople. A public recreation space designed to resemble the RomanCircus Maximus and its characteristic "U" shape, which participants had to circle seven times, the Hippodrome was a public recreation space for opulent horse and chariot racing spectacles. Some of its more significant structures include Kaiser Wilhelm's Fountain, the Serpent Column of Delphi (bronze), the EgyptianObelisk and the Walled Obelisk of Constantine VII, but the four bronze horses which decorated the Hippodrome's gates and the statues of celebrated charioteers which stood proudly on its grounds are no longer here.
We walk from the Hippodrome to the Blue Mosque, Istanbul's largest and most beautiful. It's also called the Sultan's Mosque, since it was built, between 1609 and 1616, by order of Sultan Ahmed I, who was 20 years-old at the time and is now buried within its walls. An exceptional example of Islamic architecture, many of the pious begin their journey to Mecca from the Blue Mosque. The sultan wanted to build the most magnificent mosque in all of Islam, and he wanted no expense spared -- he even demanded a dome of pure gold, which was impossible because of the weight of gold. His architect built the dome from simple materials and surrounded it with six exquisite minarets and, when confronted by the sultan, pretended he had misunderstood, that he had heard "alti" (six), not "altin," (gold). It is called the blue mosque because of the blue tiles upon its interior walls.
We leave the Blue Mosque for Hagia Sophia, also known as the "Church of the Wisdom of God" and "the Great Church." The Church has long been a symbol of Constantinople and Istanbul. From the date construction began, in 537, during the reign of Justinian, until 1453, Hagia Sophia served as an Eastern Orthodox cathedral and the seat of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, except for the period between 1204 and 1261, when it was converted to a Roman Catholic cathedral under the Latin Empire. The building was used as a mosque from the fall of Constantinople, on 29 May 1453, until 1931. It is now a museum, where beautiful mosaics completed over the course of more than 12 centuries are on display. It is considered one of the preeminent extant examples of Byzantine ecclesiastical architecture.
After a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, we visit the Topkapi Palace Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the acropolis of ancient Byzantium. Initially constructed between 1460 and 1478 by Sultan Mehmed II, the palace, initially called the "New Palace," served as the home of the Ottoman sultans and their courts until the middle of the 19th century. The basic design of the palace, which was designated a museum by Ataturk in 1924, encompasses a number of exquisite courtyards and gardens. Its collection includes Ottoman and European silverware, European porcelains and glassware, weapons, manuscripts, Islamic relics, portraits of the Sultans and even some of their robes and other clothing. Topkapi is one of the locations in the Oscar-winning 1964 caper, Topkapi, which starred the legendary Greek actress, singer, author and Minister of CultureMelina Mercouri.
Our excursion concludes with plenty of time for shopping! The awesome Grand Bazaar, which is also called Kapali Carci ("CoveredBazaar"), is one of the oldest and largest covered markets on earth. The bazaar, which first opened in 1461, comprises about 60 streets and welcomes up to 400,000 visitors per day to its maze of banks, cafes, fountains, shops, shrines and workshops. It will make the mall back home seem like a dollhouse. We only hope you can carry all your purchases back to the ship!

This atmospheric Istanbul tour takes you through the commercial center of modern Istanbul, across the Galata Bridge, deep into the Byzantine and Ottoman history of this incredible city. Our coach will take you along the coastline of Istanbul's Golden Horn past the Suleimaniye Mosque, a landmark of 16th centuryOttoman architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Our destination is beautiful Sultanahmet Square, home to the Blue Mosque, the former basilica of Hagia Sophia, the Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace and the Old Hippodrome of Istanbul, our first stop.
The Old Hippodrome of Istanbul is an ancient circus built before the founding of Constantinople. A public recreation space designed to resemble the RomanCircus Maximus and its characteristic "U" shape, which participants had to circle seven times, the Hippodrome was a public recreation space for opulent horse and chariot racing spectacles. Some of its more significant structures include Kaiser Wilhelm's Fountain, the Serpent Column of Delphi (bronze), the EgyptianObelisk and the Walled Obelisk of Constantine VII, but the four bronze horses which decorated the Hippodrome's gates and the statues of celebrated charioteers which stood proudly on its grounds are no longer here.

Travel video about destination El Djem in Tunisia.
Even from a distance, a monumental amphitheatre dominates the Tunisian city of El Djem, the ancient Punic settlement of Thysdrus in the heart of the later Byzantine Empire. Apart from those in Rome and Verona, this huge stone amphitheatre is the largest of its kind and a masterpiece of ancient building technique. Due to the region’s climate, the impressive construction has retained its original colour and the gigantic oval structure could accommodate 30 to 40,000 spectators. Thysdrus was one of the largest cities in ancient Africa and during the 2nd and 3rd centuries B.C. was also one of the most prosperous in the Roman Empire. The cultivation of olives and the production of olive oil for Rome were the reasons for the city’s prosperity that continued to flourish for many centuries. Although the amphitheatre has been used extensively as a stone quarry, it is better preserved than the Coliseum of Rome and in near-perfect condition. The wealth of the city has long since gone but its colossal heritage has been preserved forever…the fascinating amphitheatre of...El Djem !

Top 10 Reasons the Byzantine Empire Was Among the Most Successful in History

You’d see a lot of changes when looking at a map of present day Europe and comparing it to a 30 year old one. Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine and the Baltic States were all part of the USSR. Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia were still states. Go back even further and the map looks even stranger. Putting all those different people under the same banner and keeping them that way was and still is next to impossible. Many have tried and most have failed, but the first to even come close were the Romans. Their inheritors, the Byzantines, managed to keep it together for over 1100 years, thus creating the longest-living Empire on the continent. Here’s how they did it.

____________
Justinian arose from humble roots, the nephew of an illiterate pig farmer named Justin. Justin joined the army and rose to become leader of the palace guard, then took his nephew under his wing and made sure that he was well educated. When Emperor Anastasius died, Justin used his position (and his standing army inside Constantinople) to claim the crown for himself. His nephew guided the early years of his reign, helping Justin secure support both in the capitol and abroad. When Justin died, rule of the Byzantine Empire passed to the young Justinian, who had grand ambitions to restore its waning glory. It also freed him to marry Theodora, a famous actress who was far beneath his social station, and who would also rise from her humble beginnings to become a revered empress.

The Byzantines: Engineering an Empire

Brilliance and brutality. Intellect and intrigue. Christianity and carnage.
As much of the world descended into the Dark Ages after the fall of Rome, one civilization shone brilliantly: the Byzantine Empire. With ruthless might and supreme ingenuity, the Byzantines ruled over vast swaths of Europe and Asia for more than a thousand years. A bridge to antiquity, it was Byzantium that preserved the classical learning and science that would one day give rise to the Renaissance.
Led by rulers who exercised absolute power and architects who pushed beyond Rome's engineering marvels, the Byzantines constructed the ancient world's longest aqueduct, virtually invincible city walls, a massive stadium, and a colossal domed cathedral that defied the laws of nature.
The Byzantine Empire was the dominant civilization during the Dark Ages. But after a millennium of rule, its engineering feats would betray them - as an ancient light was extinguished in the glare of modern warfare.

History of the Byzantine Empire | Episode 0 | Dividing An Empire

Who were the Byzantines? What was the Byzantine Empire? Were the Byzantines Greek or were the Byzantines Roman? Or were they something else entirely?
The history of the Byzantine empire is fascinating and I hope that throughout my History of the Byzantine Empire series to introduce you to it. Emperors like Justinian. Weapons like Greek fire and cities like Constantinople, the GreatCity. All are an important part of Byzantine history. Over the coming episode we'll cover the 11 centuries of Byzantine history and all the twists and turns that they entail.
In this episode we discuss the beginning of the Byzantine Empire because the Byzantine Empire is really just Eastern Rome. So it can be hard to discern where one ends and the other begins. I peg the beginning with the Emperor Diocletian. One of the greatest Roman emperors. The man that divided and empire and brought it back from the brink of collapse.

Top 5 Unexcavated Byzantine Sites

Lars Brownworth, author of "Lost to the West: The Forgotten Byzantine Empire that Rescued ...

Italy’s Verona, Padova, and Ravenna

In the shadow of Venice, we visit three great cities in the Veneto area. Padova is famed for its venerable university, precious Giotto frescoes, and pilgrim-packed basilica. Verona is a hit with aficionados of Roman ruins and Romeo and Juliet fans. And Ravenna, with its shimmering mosaics, was once the western bastion of the Byzantine Empire. We enliven each stop with a tasty dose of Italian "dolce vita."
At http://www.ricksteves.com, you'll find money-saving travel tips, small-group tours, guidebooks, TV shows, radio programs, podcasts, and more on this destination.

Why Istanbul Is The Most Strategically Important City In The World

Istanbul is the most strategically important city in the world. It's located on one of the busiest waterways in the world, the Bosporus straight, which links the Black Sea with the Mediterranean, and a land route between Europe and Asia.
Notes about the names of Istanbul:
During the Ottoman Empire, the people of the city would call it Istanbul, while the government still referred to the city as the Turkish variant of Constantinople. The city's official name was not changed to Istanbul until Turkey became a republic.
Byzantium was refereed to as the New Rome until after emperor Constantine's death, when it became Constantinople.

Ancient City of Bosra, (Syria) - Travel Guide

Take a tour of Ancient City of Bosra in Bosra, Syrian Arab Republic -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The half-standing ruins of this dark-stoned city rise out of the southern Syrian landscape.
Nearly deserted today, Bosra has a great deal of history from thousands of years of habitation by different cultures.
The city is at least old enough to have appeared in historical documents from the fourteenth century BC.
Early in the first millennium AD, Bosra became a part of the Roman Empire, which is the strongest influence seen at work in the ruins.
Since then, it has been the territory of the Byzantine Empire and the Arabs who swept in during the seventh century.
Among the ruined city's Roman and Christian structures, the fortified amphitheater is probably the greatest.
This deep, stadium-like building is mostly intact and gives a taste of what Bosra may once have been like.
